    A relatively eclectic band. The second track starts off as new school hardcore with vocals that alternate between Strife-like screaming, and crooning. The third song is reminiscent of Roadside Monument, the fifth an almost ballad at times with a flanged guitar, with a heavily distorted, spacey guitar sound on the chorus. The style hopping goes on throughout the CD, but doesn't seem to have a consistent flow. Interesting, but not a masterpiece, either.
